Hello all. I feel like as the teams continue to dwindle on this game there will be less development of youth. I think we have already seen skillful players rise in value. Could we be approaching a tough economic time on buzzerbeater? I think it has already started.

There isn't a lot of information to support that, so I don't think so. TL prices seem to be fluctuating about normal to what they have been for many seasons now. Do you have any specific examples that show tough economic times in Buzzerbeater? Skillfull players will naturally be pretty expensive but I haven't seen a huge rise in value or prices to be honest.

I'm not trying to be a mind reader but I believe he may be talking about mid level starters (20-50k range). I think that the competition for these players have been greater due to Utopian teams adding to a need to fill. I have seen a surge in prices for many of these players, particularly well built ones.

I do think the market will level off in a season or two from this and I don't think a depression is on hand for BB teams... until they find another way to tax us.

Yes I don't think It is a major deal, but 20-50k players below the age of 33 are very highly valued. I think more with big men lately than guards. I remember there was a time when you could get a 30k big man for fairly cheap.

I think its already begin to level off a little bit as the number of active users that signed up in the beginning decreases and as trainees from Utopian teams on the TL are increasing.
